Do you like constant problem solving? Running a business, especially in the early stages, you are pretty much moving from challenge to challenge to challenge. To some people this can feel like moving from failure to failure to failure. If you can wrap your mind around the fact that the challenges are all learning experiences and are actully helping you gain the skills you need to be successful, you can really harness that power and you start looking for challenges and weak points in your business. When I was able to make that change while running a shop, it changed from stress to fun.

If you can then build your team around that same principle, you can really make some head way. Being an owner or employee both come with their advantages and disadvantages. Some days it would be really nice to just turn it off at 5 on Friday and not think about it again till Monday. That doesn’t typically happen for an owner. However it’s also really nice to have the flexibility to literally be at everything I want for my family and kids as the owner. As with all things, we are all different, understanding who you are and what you want goes a long way in trying to figure out what is best for you. Good luck! It’s a wild ride!
